Hello,
I found myself in need of a modifier to truncate an HTML string, maintaining all of the tags and such. I couldn't immediate find an existing one, so I ported some javascript code I found to PHP & Smarty. Here it is, in case anybody else finds this useful.

[php:1:a6726020e4]
<?php
/*
* Smarty plugin
*
-------------------------------------------------------------
* File: modifier.html_substr.php
* Type: modifier
* Name: html_substr
* Version: 1.0
* Date: June 19th, 2003
* Purpose: Cut a string preserving any tag nesting and matching.
* Install: Drop into the plugin directory.
* Author: Original Javascript Code: Benjamin Lupu <lupufr@aol.com>
* Translation to PHP & Smarty: Edward Dale <scompt@scompt.com>
*
-------------------------------------------------------------
*/
function smarty_modifier_html_substr($string, $length)
{
if( !empty( $string ) && $length>0 ) {
$isText = true;
$ret = "";
$i = 0;

$currentChar = "";
$lastSpacePosition = -1;
$lastChar = "";

$tagsArray = array();
$currentTag = "";
$tagLevel = 0;

$noTagLength = strlen( strip_tags( $string ) );

// Parser loop
for( $j=0; $j<strlen( $string ); $j++ ) {

$currentChar = substr( $string, $j, 1 );
$ret .= $currentChar;

// Lesser than event
if( $currentChar == "<") $isText = false;

// Character handler
if( $isText ) {

// Memorize last space position
if( $currentChar == " " ) { $lastSpacePosition = $j; }
else { $lastChar = $currentChar; }

$i++;
} else {
$currentTag .= $currentChar;
}

// Greater than event
if( $currentChar == ">" ) {
$isText = true;

// Opening tag handler
if( ( strpos( $currentTag, "<" ) !== FALSE ) &&
( strpos( $currentTag, "/>" ) === FALSE ) &&
( strpos( $currentTag, "</") === FALSE ) ) {

// Tag has attribute(s)
if( strpos( $currentTag, " " ) !== FALSE ) {
$currentTag = substr( $currentTag, 1, strpos( $currentTag, " " ) - 1 );
} else {
// Tag doesn't have attribute(s)
$currentTag = substr( $currentTag, 1, -1 );
}

array_push( $tagsArray, $currentTag );

} else if( strpos( $currentTag, "</" ) !== FALSE ) {

array_pop( $tagsArray );
}

$currentTag = "";
}

if( $i >= $length) {
break;
}
}

// Cut HTML string at last space position
if( $length < $noTagLength ) {
if( $lastSpacePosition != -1 ) {
$ret = substr( $string, 0, $lastSpacePosition );
} else {
$ret = substr( $string, $j );
}
}

// Close broken XHTML elements
while( sizeof( $tagsArray ) != 0 ) {
$aTag = array_pop( $tagsArray );
$ret .= "</" . $aTag . ">\n";
}

} else {
$ret = "";
}

return( $ret );
}

/* vim: set expandtab: */

?>
[/php:1:a6726020e4]

It is called like so:
Code:

{$htmlString|html_substr:100}

scompt, that really is a nice plugin. I added some lines to make it more useable with news-scripts.

PostPosted: Mon Jul 21, 2008 1:59 pm    Post subject: Changing appended string behaviour Reply with quote

I've just found this five-year-old script which gives me the functionality I'm after - that is, to truncate text without losing HTML markup from the end - and it seems to work almost perfectly.

The one drawback I've found (in the second version) is that the text which is appended to the end - $addstring - gets added after the closing HTML container, which is far from ideal.

Could anybody show me where this variable should be returned to fit inside the HTML? Also, is the code in this example safe, considering its age?

I took the code and made it work as a UDT (User Defined Tag) I call Truncate Better on CMSMS (CMS Made Simple) . . . I added a "read more" link with variable text and put the user specified "addstring" before the closing tag if it matches specific elements like "p" or "div". It works great for me in CMSMS but had to do a rough conversion to post it here as a drop in. Should work but is untested in this form . . . At the very least you can see how I changed the "while" loop to include the addstring and link . . .

Thanks for the script. I was just planning to create it during weekend.

@jaslorax: I've little changed your script. The part where you add additional string and url. It didn't work, if there were not opened tag.

Code:

function smarty_modifier_html_substr($string, $length, $addstring = '', $link = '', $link_text = '') {
....

if (sizeof( $tagsArray ) != 0) {
   if ($addstring != '') {
      $ret .= $addstring;
   }
   if ($link != '' && $link_text != '') {
      $ret .= "<a href=\"". $link . "\" alt=\"". $link_text . "\">" . $link_text . "</a>";
   }
} else {
   // Close broken XHTML elements
   while( sizeof( $tagsArray ) != 0 ) {
      if ( sizeof( $tagsArray ) > 1 ) {
         $aTag = array_pop( $tagsArray );
         $ret .= "</" . $aTag . ">";
      }
      // You may add more tags here to put the link and added text before the closing tag
      elseif ($aTag = 'p' || 'div') {
         $aTag = array_pop( $tagsArray );
         if ($addstring != '') {
            $ret .= $addstring;
         }
         if ($link != '' && $link_text != '') {
            $ret .= "<a href=\"". $link . "\" alt=\"". $link_text . "\">" . $link_text . "</a>";
         }
         $ret .= "</" . $aTag . ">";
      }
      else {
         $aTag = array_pop( $tagsArray );
         $ret .= "</" . $aTag . ">";
         if ($addstring != '') {
            $ret .= $addstring;
         }
         if ($link != '' && $link_text != '') {
            $ret .= "<a href=\"". $link . "\" alt=\"". $link_text . "\">" . $link_text . "</a>";
         }
      }
   }
}
...

It's sad that no flexible license was used on this code, so it can't be used on LGPL frameworks Sad

It not run with smarty 2.6.26 but it run with version 2.6.25.
